Session #2: A history of video games

History is first and foremost an act of selection and exclusion. It is not different when speaking of the history of video games. Significant examples are chosen and presented to us in a sequence that makes sense of today’s trends and developments. But is it still relevant to talk about ancient arcade machines and dusty cartridges when trying to understand video games as a cultural phenomenon? Our second session on Rethinking Games will allow you to dive deep into the history of video games while offering space to question accepted narratives. That is why we will not be just talking about the usual suspects such as Atari, Nintendo, and Sega but also put the Polish Games Industry into our spotlight to present a local narrative that is significant to us here in Warsaw.
